I am a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead on AMC. Have you been keeping up with this season? This has been the best season yet. .:SPOILER ALERT:. At least Carol and Beth are together, but what will happen to them? Hopefully, Daryl gets back to the group in-time so they can help get back both Beth and Carol. Eugene, I just hope he is left to the walkers soon.
Anyway, for me, there’s an allure to the possibility of surviving a zombie apocalypse. I watch the show to take in all I can so I’ll know what to do to survive once this thing goes down. Plus, there’s Rick, Michonne, Daryl and Carol’s storylines I have to keep up with from week-to-week. I’m so engrossed in The Walking Dead that I have had dreams about what I would do if it happened. Would I survive it? What will my strengths be? And since I’m into all things beauty, what beauty item will I take a long with me while my group is on the move to help me get through and survive the Zombie Apocalypse?
Personally, clean, healthy skin is all I need to survive the zombie apocalypse. Since water will be scarce, bringing along any of my favorite facial cleansing wipes would be perfect to keep my skin clean while we’re on the run avoiding walkers. Besides, I can always use berries as a lip stain or for a flush of color on the cheeks to prevent me from looking like a walker.
Right now, my “group” consists of 10 beauty bloggers, who are also just as obsessed with The Walking Dead as me. Keep reading to the beauty products we must have with us in order to survive the zombie apocalypse, and not look like zombies.
“I’d need Bobbi Brown Corrector to give me that extra little boost during a Zombie Apocalypse. Firstly, it’s small and portable. Secondly, a little goes a long way! I’d only need to scavenge at a department store a few times a year! Third, it conceals signs of fatigue and bruising. It’s the perfect little beauty item for any “end of the world” scenario!”
– Jennifer from Raging Rouge
“Concealer! Specifically, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Waterproof Full Coverage Anti-Aging Concealer. A zombie apocalypse might be raging outside my door, but my dark undereye circles definitely won’t be with this concealer in my beauty arsenal. In a pinch (I anticipate quite a few of them throughout the undead devastation), it also works great used all-over as a foundation!”
– Bailey from Making up the Midwest
“Origins GinZing Moisturizer. There’s no possible way I could survive a zombie apocalypse with my extremely dry skin, so I need this to make it through!”
– Nikki Confessions from a Makeup Junkie
“If I could only have one product, it would be Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex SPF 15. I’d want to keep my skin in check, and this moisturizer works for both day and night. Sure, I’d miss my foundations and eyeliners, but I NEED SPF and anti-aging ingredients in my life.”
– Linda from Beautzy Blog
“If I had to pick just one beauty item… it would have to be Lime Crime Velvetines! Those suckers are tough and stay on forever. We can’t be thinking about reapplying lipstick if we have to run from zombies!”
– Nicci from Very Nicci
“Absolutely my Maybelline Volumn’ Express The Mega Plush Mascara. This mascara will help enhance my eyes, and if I shed a tear from all that fear, no worries because this mascara is waterproof. If by some unfortunate chance I fall victim to a flesh eating zombie and turn, hopefully with a bit of mascara on my eyes I’ll manage to look a little more alive than my new zombie friends.”
– Jonesy from The Bliss List
“Lipstick! Because I’d feel washed out without it, and then someone would mistake me for a zombie and spike me through the head. My absolute favorite is my Ellis Faas Ellis Red. Plus, the bullet-shaped case could prove a useful weapon in a pinch!”
– Nidia from Lit From Within
“I would risk my life to save the Stila Stay All Day liquid liners (easy application and no smudging), Not Your Mother’s dry shampoo (cheap and works like a charm) and Clinique Liquid Face Soap (relatively inexpensive and never breaks me out). I could keep listing “must-haves” for days, but these are my top three – I’m always stalked up on them.”
– Kristin from Beauty Xpose
“From a practical point of view, I will hoard facial wipes or wet ones since water maybe a problem. Plus it comes in handy when wiping off blood smears or stains from killing zombies; I will also stash sunscreens because being outside most of the time (looking for place to stay or hide) increase the risk for skin cancer and pre-mature aging.”
Kathryne from TheFabZilla
“Concealer!!! I look like a zombie without it. Hmm… maybe I need to look like the dead so I can walk among them…”
– Laura from My Newest Addiction
Are any of our readers fans of The Walking Dead? If so, we’d love to know what beauty item you must have with you to get through the Zombie Apocalypse.

What a fun post, Kim! I've never seen the Walking Dead, but I love it as a jumping off post for your favorites. Like Bailey, I'd need the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye so I wouldn't be mistaken for a zombie 😉
My recent post Makeup Storage Tip: More Fun with Apothecary Jars
Thank you! Bailey made a good choice with the concealer, too. Ahh and you must watch The Walking Dead lol you'll be hooked.
Definitely my IT Bye Bye Undereye! I can use it for dark circles and lightly all over to even out my skin tone. Multitaskers are the thing when you are running from zombies!
My recent post November Ipsy Bag
This is a popular concealer among BBC members
What a great roundup of items. I totally think I would need my IT BYE BYE concealer as well. I mean it sort of does it all. Great post!
That is definitely a great concealer option.
Haha I love this post idea! Concealer is definitely a must!
My recent post Bed Head Deep Waver Review
Thanks, Phyrra. I love this show. Do you watch?
I love all of the responses! Such a creative and great post idea. You should share it with the folks at The Walking Dead : ) tweet it. Thanks for getting me into that show, best show on TV along with Breaking Bad.
My recent post KNAPPY KNATURAL STRAIGHT CLIP-IN SET
Haha thank you, and thanks for participating. It was fun. I'm going to take your advice and tweet them 🙂
Cute idea! I would just want facial and/or body wipes. With no hot water, I'm gonna feel groady!!!
Both of those are definitely necessary.
Lol this is such a fun post! My bf is a HUGE walking dead fan!
My recent post November 2014 Beauty Box 5 Review
Is he? That's cool! I try to get my husband to watch, but, he's sick of my obsession so that puts him off lol
I don't watch the show. I know, I know!!
My recent post Patchology Energizing Eye Patches!
Aww man. It's such a great show, too.

Fun post and I like the practical/wacky answers!!!! Great fan of TWD here…actually zombies in general. Hub and I have huge collection of zombie movie flicks!!!
My recent post Holiday Gift Guide: Fitness Edition
Thanks for participating. I see we had the same idea regarding wipes.
hahahaha! This was so much fun to read. I do not watch WD so I am not too sure what it is about besides zombies… but since my littles are small I don't really watch that kind of stuff and once I watched Dawn of the Dead with the hubby and 2 minutes in I jumped from one side of the couch, over the coffee table and into his lap because I was scared. lmao – my lil sisters love WD though… so I think this post is great – I'm sharing it with them. 🙂
My recent post Sephora VIB Haul 2014 – Tarte, Bite Beauty, Benefit and More
Aww… TWD isn't too scary though. It's more suspense. There's some gory scenes when it comes to killing the walkers, but it isn't scary at all. Thanks for sharing, too.
omg this post is amazing! I would definitely need concealer!
Thank you!
Totally on the cleansing wipes and def some Jack Black Lips!
My recent post MAC Smoky Black Friday Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow Swatches, Review + EOTD
Yes! Cleansing wipes are a must. Have you seen how dirty some of them have gotten between the first season and the last?
This was such a cute post!
Thank you. Do you watch?
What a fun list! I'd probably pack some sunscreen and a lip balm 🙂
My recent post Birchbox Vanity Affair Limited Edition Box: An Early Christmas Gift To Myself
It was a fun post to put together. Sunscreen is definitely a must, especially since a lot of the time is spent outdoors.

So funny!!! You know what I'd bring? I'd have to bring Febreeze to take care of that zombie flesh smell, LOL!

I love Nidia's answer. I was thinking the exact same thing!
My recent post Rosehip by Essano – Nourishing Hand Creme Review
As a skincare junkie, I searched for how I could survive a Zombie Apocalypse & found this site! Now, I am a thru & thru Estee Lauder girl & have been told by others they would drop me from their group bcos I would slow them down carrying my 1,000+ daily skincare routine & my 3 cats! I just need to ensure I land in a fully stocked department store with extra stock on a secured loading dock. The ONE thing (do I have to make this decision??!!) would of course be an Estee Lauder product. The one & only Advanced Night Repair for Face (cleanser, toner, essence, day cream, night cream, eye cream, neck cream, lip balm……….). LOVE your site!!!!!
Hi Sandra. Thank you for stopping by. I'm happy you enjoyed this post. It was so much fun to create. You know, I haven't used any Estee Lauder skincare.
I sent a tweet to Chris Hardwick of The Talking Dead. "Dying" to see if he will mention it on his show Sunday nights after The Walking Dead!
